Sure, George Springer homered and scored three runs. Jose Altuve was two for two with a run and an RBI. And Ryan Pressly opened on the mound with a perfect first inning. But the real firepower in this 2020 preseason romp came from the Astros’ future.
In what may be the last game of the season for some of these future Astros, they decided to make a statement.
For example, Alex De Goti, last year’s shortstop at AAA Round Rock, broke the game open in the fifth with a three run homer.
In the seventh, the Astros’ heir apparent at first base, Taylor Jones, launched a solo homer to straight away center.
